Continuing to make strides with the fastball. Super athletic kid with feel for multiple pitches. Strike thrower.
-
Seen the fastball tick up 5mph this offseason. Should be on coaches radar!

[Coby Ingle @thecobyingle]

Great June-January progression for @Tra3Jones5
-
Unbelievable amount of work went into this. But this is only the beginning for this HS Junior.

[Coby Ingle @thecobyingle]

Electric last night at The Athletes Facility. HS mound blend week 1 finished in a duel with 2 2027 arms battling it out. @Tra3Jones5 ended up winning with a 91 to seal the deal. @apple_bryson with a respectable second place after hitting 3 straight 90mph bolts.
-
Both of these arms all time PR’s were 86 & 87 mph in 2025… Both of these arms are MUST FOLLOWS for college coaches.

The Athletes Facility

[Coby Ingle @thecobyingle]

first pen today for @Tra3Jones5 .
84-87 in October. No fastball under 88 today. Big loose operation to dream on. Performer at big events.
-
Fastball 88-89.8 with life.
+ cutter 83-84
+ slider 77-80
Developing changeup.
-
No doubt major follow for the 2027 class. Much more velo to come in the next few months.

[Coby Ingle @thecobyingle]

This didn’t throw a fastball under 88 today in pen 1….

Night 1 of the winter program. Great work and these guys finished it off strong. Gathered a ton of data/metrics. Can’t wait to see how these high schoolers progress. Work starts now.

‘27 SS/RHP Trace Jones (VA) opens up @ 84-87 & challenging the zone, good feel for the SL (clip); athletic, free & easy. #WWBAWorlds @PG_Uncommitted @PG_VirginiaWV

[Perfect Game Scout @PG_Scouting]

Trace Jones also had a couple knocks with the bat, shows looseness to the hands on a firm PS 1B here. Lots of things to like in the profile long-term. #WWBAWorlds @PG_Uncommitted @PG_VirginiaWV
